If I could add a new class I would add an architect class. Students would learn about how to make and design homes for hurricane sandy relief. The class would meet after school at 5:00 P.M. The students would sketch up ideas for houses and I would approve or dissaprove of the ideas. On the walls there would be examples of successful sketches on the walls. The classroom would be very quite since the students are working very hard. This would be a voluntary class. It would be a very open to ideas type of fell in the classroom.

Facebook Users bored with Facebook

As many as 2⁄3 of adults in America use Facebook on a daily basis, undoubtedly making it the most popular social networking site in the country. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll never get bored of it. In fact, most of them did. Recent surveys show that nearly 61% of Facebook users have voluntarily taken breaks from the social networking site. Actually nearly 20% admitted to deleting their accounts entirely. 4% stated it was for privacy reasons, the rest just stated it was a general waste of time.
Now the site once bustling with activity, struggles to profit from its users. The company claims they will add in new features to help users do a new wide variety of things with their new graph search feature. Facebook may not be in such a great spot, but that means less distractions for me.
